Minneapolis school calls gas station snack "lunch"

​Sure, adults might pick up a Slim Jim--along with a Mountain Dew and a bag of Cheetos--to fuel a long night of driving, but should schools be serving the shrink-wrapped sausages to impressionable young stomachs?

A parent of a fifth-grader at Marcy Open School in Minneapolis says she's upset about today's school lunch: a "beef snack stick," crackers, peaches in syrup, and yogurt, which was listed as a "fun lunch" on the menu. "This sounds like something you get when you are drunk and only have $.59 at the Holiday Station, not something to feed children who do not/cannot bring a nutritious lunch from home," she said.

Minneapolis Public School attendees rely heavily on school lunch--approximately two-thirds of all children attending are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Does the city need Jamie Oliver to come beef-stick-whip its lunch program into shape?
